Calling all Artists and Makers, Join us for Second Saturday Artwalks

Posted on March 17th, 2017 by Downtown Campbell

If you're an artist or a maker, we want you to join us and help us turn the streets of Downtown Campbell into a vibrant little art and a crafts mart during our monthly Second Saturdays event.

Second Saturdays is our monthly Artwalk and street music event that happens on (wait for it)... the second Saturday of each month. It's been on holiday for the opening months of the year, but we've got our first one of 2017 scheduled for Saturday, April 8th.

A lot of our old favorites will be rejoining us for 2017, but we'd love to give more artists and makers the opportunity to be a part of our once-a-month craft community. There's no charge to participate, but there are some requirements that you have to meet to come exhibit at Second Saturdays.

Let's get you started! Please see this page for more information:

Bella's Studio Has Moved - Same Building, One Floor Up

Posted on March 14th, 2017 by Bella's Studio

Small is sew beautiful! Bella's Studio has moved to a slightly smaller space - we're still located in the same building, 140 W. Franklin Street, but we're now on the third floor in Suite 309.

The idea that bigger is better certainly proved false for us. This new, smaller studio feels cozy and is remarkably efficient. In our new spot we continue to offer sewing and craft workshops, private sewing lessons, and open studio time with our Baby Lock sewing machines, and we still have a retail boutique selling a collection of contemporary fabrics, sewing notions, and handmade gift items. We invite you to visit us at our new home!
